Easy Surprise-Inside St. Patrick’s Day Cupcakes

By on March 17, 2017

Celebrate the luck of the Irish with these fun St. Patrick’s Day cupcakes!

The kiddos and I made some surprise inside St. Patrick’s Day cupcakes yesterday afternoon, inspired by this Betty Crocker recipeWe’re only allowed to bake on school nights so that Josh can take the leftovers to work with him the next day. If we have 24 cupcakes sitting  around the house over the weekend…well…there will only be one or two left by Monday. My sugar addiction is REAL man!

By on March 11, 2017

I’ve just been feeling the need for something…extra in my life. Just…something. Something to occupy my mine. Something to work on, to work towards. A creative outlet.

And then I remembered I used to blog.
